function foo(x1, x2) {

// the arguments array:

// number of arguments (same as argv.length):

var n = foo.arguments.length;

// y1 is same as this.x1 or argv[0]:

var y1 = foo.arguments[0];

// the last argument (same as argv[n-1]):
|

var yn = foo.arguments[n-1];

// use inside function to determine caller:

This allows one to process functions with a variable number of arguments

The arguments array is a property of all user-defined functions and Function objects.
